[0019] Hereinafter, each embodiment of the retaining wall component and the retaining structure for a vertical pit according to the present invention will be described.

[0020] The retaining wall component of the present invention and this embodiment is a retaining wall component for retaining earth on the wall surface of a vertical shaft excavated to repair the portion of a buried pipe under a road to prevent the wall surface from collapsing.

[0021] [Earth-retaining wall component A according to the first embodiment] FIG. 1 shows a retaining wall component A according to a first embodiment.

[0022] This earth-retaining wall component A has a plurality of ring-shaped components each having a required length slightly smaller than the perimeter of the vertical hole, which is divided into three or more approximately equal lengths, in order to retain the earth on the wall surface of the vertical hole that is excavated to repair the portion of the buried pipe G under the road so that the wall surface does not collapse, and a plurality of connecting parts that connect the ring-shaped components, At least one connecting part that connects the ring constituent members in a ring shape is configured to be adjustable so that the circumferential length of the connecting part can be increased, and at least one other connecting part that connects the ring constituent members in a ring shape is configured to be connectable and detachable, and a plurality of ring constituent members are arranged along the inner circumference of a vertical hole and connected by a plurality of connecting parts to be assembled into a prefabricated ring body that fits along the inner circumference of the vertical hole, and the prefabricated ring bodies are stacked one after another on the underside so as to be in close contact with the wall surface of the vertical hole, forming a cylindrical body for a retaining wall that retains earth in close contact with the wall surface without the need for shoring (claims 1 and 2). This is described in detail below.

[0023] The retaining wall component A is composed of a circular prefabricated ring body 1 assembled along the inner circumference of the pit H using ring component members 11 and connecting parts 12-14, and installed in an overlapping state from the top of the pit to near the bottom.

[0024] The retaining wall components A are not assembled as prefabricated ring bodies outside the flat circular pit H, but are assembled inside the pit H. The reason for this is that the first prefabricated ring body 1 is installed at the upper end of the wall surface of the pit H when the pit H is shallowly excavated, for example to a depth of 1 m, and prefabricated ring bodies are installed at deeper positions each time the pit H is excavated to a certain depth; therefore, a prefabricated ring body assembled outside the pit H cannot be installed inside the pit H.

[0025] The assembly ring body 1 shown in Figure 1 is a one-block ring-shaped assembly in which multiple pipe materials (three in the figure) that are approximately quarter-circular arc shaped when viewed from above are stacked vertically and welded together to ensure a large retaining area.

[0026] The retaining wall component A shown in Figure 1 is configured as a cylindrical retaining wall body in which prefabricated ring bodies 1 are stacked one on top of the other on the underside so that they are in close contact with the wall surface of the pit H, and which directly contacts the wall surface to retain soil, and does not require shoring (it also has the function of shoring).

[0027] When the assembled ring body 1 is arranged in close contact or proximity to the inner circumference of the vertical hole H, it comprises four ring constituent members 11 each having an arc length that is shorter than the length of one-quarter of the arc in a plan view by the length of one connecting member, and four connecting members 12-14 for connecting the four ring constituent members 11 in a ring shape.

[0028] The prefabricated ring body 1 is assembled by arranging four ring constituent members 11 along the inner circumference of a vertical hole and connecting them with four connecting parts 12-14. The prefabricated ring body 1 may also be an arc-shaped body divided into three parts.

[0029] The four connecting portions 12-14 shown in Figure 1 are not identical in configuration, and connecting portion 12 is a joint that can be bent on the ring plane. Connecting portions 13, 13 are joints that can be connected and separated but cannot be bent. Connecting portion 14 is a joint whose connecting length can be adjusted to increase the ring diameter after assembly of the prefabricated ring body 1. As shown in Figure 1(B), a blind plate 16 is provided on the outside of the four connecting portions 12-14 so as to extend from the end of one of the ring constituent members 11.

[0030] The connecting portion 12 is constructed by flattening each end of a pair of adjacent ring constituent members 11 to form a flat portion, stacking the flat portions one on top of the other, and passing a bolt through a through hole in the center of the flat portions and fastening them with a nut.Even if the connecting length of the connecting portion 14 is expanded and the circumferential compression pressure increases, the connecting portion 12 does not bend toward the center due to its relationship with the connecting portions 13 and 14, and has the freedom to slightly displace the connected state so that it bulges in the centrifugal direction.

[0031] The connecting portion 13 has a function of butting the ends of a pair of adjacent ring constituent members 11 together and clamping the outer wall surfaces of the butted portions together.

[0032] The connecting portions 14 have the functions of connecting the opposing ends of the ring constituent members 11, of adjusting the connecting length, and of preventing inward bending even when circumferential compressive pressure is generated. The connecting portions 14 have the function of adjusting the connecting length when the retaining wall constituent member A is suspended in the pit H, thereby enabling the outer diameter of the ring of the retaining wall constituent member A to be expanded.

[0033] The connecting portion 14 shown in Figure 1 may be replaced with any of the connecting portions 14B-14D shown in Figures 3(B)-(D), in which case the planar shape of the vertical hole H to be excavated should correspond to the shape of the connecting portion 14B-14D.

[0034] As shown in Figures 1(A) and 1(D), this earth retaining wall component A is retaining wallThe retaining wall component A is made by welding three pipes, each with a central angle of approximately 90 degrees, one above the other to form a block of four ring components 11, which are connected at four connectors 12, 13, and 14 to form the prefabricated ring body 1, and the prefabricated ring body 1 is then stacked on top of the other prefabricated ring body 1 as the pit H is excavated.

[0035] The pipe material that makes up the ring component 11 is made by bending circular pipe material (aluminum pipe material or hot-dip galvanized iron pipe material) into an arc with a central angle of approximately 90 degrees inside the vertical hole H. Instead of a block of three overlapping circular pipe material, the ring component 11 may be in the form of no overlap, two overlapping, or four or more overlapping, and further, instead of a block of three overlapping circular pipe material, square pipe material, channel material, C-channel material, or angle material may be used.

[0036] < Upper and lower connecting members 15 > The retaining wall component A is configured such that ring components 11 are arranged circumferentially close to the wall surface W of the pit H, connected by connecting parts 12, 13, and 14, and assembled into a prefabricated ring body, which is then brought close to the wall surface W and, as shown in Figure 1(C), the connecting length of connecting parts 14 is increased to expand the ring diameter so that it is in close contact with the wall surface W, and prefabricated ring bodies are assembled and stacked below the prefabricated ring body fixed tightly to the wall surface of the pit, as shown in Figure 1(B), and these are stacked one below the other and connected to the upper one by upper and lower connecting members 15 (for example, connecting plates and tapping screws), forming a cylindrical earth-retaining wall body that is in close contact with the wall surface W and retains earth. This type of earth-retaining wall component does not require shoring and has the earth-retaining function of combining retaining plates and shoring.

[0037] The retaining wall component A, which is installed as the first closest to the ground, is, for example, a support 70 shown in FIG. 4(A) or a support 80 shown in FIG. 4(B) installed in the vertical hole H, and four hanging members (for example, chains, ropes, thick wires) 73 hanging down from the support 70 or 80 into the vertical hole H. or 83 The retaining wall component A shown in Figure 1 is suspended at four points in the circumferential direction. However, the number of suspension points may be three, and the supports 70 or 80 can be appropriately modified so that the number of suspension points is three.

[0038] The support 70 shown in Figure 4(A) consists of four pillars 71 erected at four equal points around the periphery of the vertical hole H and cross-shaped cross beams 72 that span the top ends of the four pillars 71, and hangs the retaining wall component A at four points around the circumference using four hanging members 73. The cross-shaped cross beams 72 are bolted to the intersections and the top ends of the four pillars 71.

[0039] The support 80 shown in Figure 4(B) is used to excavate the pit H at night and lay a steel plate over the pit H during the day to ensure road use. For this reason, the support 80 is installed so as not to protrude from the road surface, and the retaining plate P is installed inside the pit H so as not to protrude from the road surface.

[0040] The support 80 consists of a four-piece assembled annular section 81 housed in an annular groove carved into the road surface around the periphery of the vertical hole H, and four horizontal, short beam sections 82 housed in grooves extending from four equal positions around the circumference of the annular groove toward the center of the vertical hole H.Four hanging members 83 hanging from the base ends of each beam section 82 lift up the retaining wall component A shown in Figure 1 at four circumferential points.

[0041] The above-described connecting portion 14 is an example, and the following four structures are given as specific examples. (First type of connection structure) The connecting portion 14A shown in Figure 3(A), which allows the connecting length to be adjusted, is composed of a pair of long nuts 14a, 14b welded to the ends of each ring component 11 on both sides, and a double-ended screw member 14c threaded onto the pair of long nuts 14a, 14b. The double-ended screw member 14c has a spanner engaging portion 14c1 in the center that can be turned with a wrench, and a pair of male screw portions 14c2, 14c3 protruding from both sides. The pair of male screw portions 14c2, 14c3 have opposite threading directions. Therefore, as shown in Figure 1(A), the retaining wall component A is placed in the vertical hole H with its outer diameter small, and a retaining plate is inserted into the gap between the retaining wall component A and the wall surface of the vertical hole H. 16 The connecting length can be increased by turning the spanner engaging portion 14c1 of the connecting portion 14A from the inserted state so that the pair of male screw portions 14c2, 14c3 shorten the threaded length (so that they come out) from the pair of long nuts 14a, 14b. When the connecting portion 14A is adjusted to increase the connecting length, a large circumferential compressive pressure is generated, but bending is restricted and the ring component members on both sides are connected. Thus, as shown in Figure 1(B), the outer diameter of the retaining wall component A increases and the retaining plate 16 You can push back against it.

[0042] (Second type of connection structure) The connecting portion 14B shown in FIG. 3(B), which can change the connecting length, includes a compound pipe in which a large diameter pipe 14b1 and a small diameter pipe 14b2 are slidably fitted together and are fixed from either end face of the ring constituent members 11 on both sides, and is provided with a long nut 14b4 fixed to a flange 14b3 attached to the large diameter pipe 14b1 and a long nut 14b6 fixed to a flange 14b5 attached to the small diameter pipe 14b2, and two threaded portions 14b4 and 14b6 on both sides have opposite screw winding directions, and are threaded with the pair of long nuts 14b4 and 14b6. 14b7 The connecting portion 14B is configured to connect the ring components on both sides without bending even when a compressive pressure is generated in the circumferential direction. The connecting portion 14B has threaded members at both ends. 14b7When the retaining wall component A is rotated in the direction of coming out of the screw engagement with the long nuts 14b4, 14b6, the outer diameter of the retaining wall component A increases and the retaining wall component A can be braced against the retaining plate P, as shown in FIG. 1(B).

[0043] (Third type of connection structure) The connecting portion 14C, whose connecting length can be adjusted as shown in Figure 3(C), includes a composite pipe in which a large-diameter pipe 14c1 and a small-diameter pipe 14c2 are slidably fitted together and secured to either end face of the ring components 11 on both sides. A bolt 14c4 is threaded through a bolt-through hole in a flange 14c3 attached to the large-diameter pipe 14c1 and is threaded into a nut 14c6 fixed to the protruding end of an L-shaped flange 14c5 attached to the small-diameter pipe 14c2. The connecting portion 14C is configured to connect the ring components on both sides without bending even when circumferential compressive pressure is generated. When the bolt 14c4 is rotated in the direction of unscrewing from the nut 14c6, the outer diameter of the retaining wall component A increases, allowing it to brace against the retaining plate P, as shown in Figure 1(B).

[0044] (Fourth type of connection structure) The connecting portion 14D shown in FIG. 3(D) whose connecting length can be changed includes a compound pipe in which a large diameter pipe 14d1 and a small diameter pipe 14d2 are slidably fitted together and are fixed from either end face of the ring component members 11 on both sides, and further includes a bolt 14d4 passed through a bolt through hole of a flange 14d3 attached to the large diameter pipe 14d1 and a bolt 14d5 passed through a bolt through hole of a flange 14d5 attached to the small diameter pipe 14d2. 14d6 and includes bolts 14d4, 14d6 The bolts have opposite winding directions, bolt 14d4, 14d6 Turnbuckle 14d7 The connecting portion 14D is configured to connect the ring components on both sides without bending even when a compressive pressure is generated in the circumferential direction. 14d7 The bolt 14d4, 14d6 When the retaining wall component A is rotated in the direction of coming out of the screw engagement with the retaining plate P, the outer diameter of the retaining wall component A increases, allowing it to brace against the retaining plate P, as shown in FIG. 1(B).

[0045] As specific configurations of the connecting portion 14 having the function of expanding and adjusting the connecting length, the four types of connecting structures shown in Figures 3(A) to (D) are exemplified, but are not limited to these. For example, the connecting length can be varied by rotating the worm wheel and adjusting the linear movement of the worm meshing with the worm wheel. Adjust by changing This can be used as a structure for connecting parts.

[0046] It should be noted that the connecting portions 12 and 13 can be replaced by the connecting portion 14 .

[0053] In addition, four angle-shaped ring components 21 and four connecting parts 22 and The assembly ring body is assembled from the above, and each time a vertical hole is excavated, the assembly ring body is stacked on top of the assembly ring body installed above and connected to the lower part, thereby forming a cylindrical shape that can be configured in the same way as the retaining wall component of the first embodiment.

[0054] [Fifth embodiment: earth retaining wall component] 7 shows a plan view of the earth-retaining wall component E of the fifth embodiment. Since the earth-retaining wall component E is hexagonal, the vertical hole H3 to be excavated as the target of application has a planar shape that is hexagonal and required to be larger than the earth-retaining wall component 3. This earth-retaining wall component E is based on claims 1 and 3.

[0055] Earth retaining wall components E It consists of four "U"-shaped ring components 31, which are formed by dividing a rounded hexagonal ring shape that is smaller than the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the vertical hole H3 into four, and four connecting parts 32, 33 that connect the opposing ends of each ring component 31 when the ring component components 31 are arranged in a hexagonal ring shape.

[0056] The connecting portion 32 has the same configuration as the connecting portion 14A shown in Fig. 3(A), but can be replaced with any of the connecting portions 14B-14D shown in Fig. 3(B)-(D). The connecting portion 33 has the same configuration as the connecting portion 12 shown in Fig. 1, but can be replaced with any of the connecting portions 14A-14D shown in Fig. 3(A)-(D).

[0057] Earth retaining wall components E The diameter can be expanded by increasing the connection length of the two connecting portions 32, and a plurality of retaining plates are arranged closely along the wall surface W of the vertical hole H3. P3 The diameter of the retaining plate is expanded to form multiple retaining plates. P3 It is a structure that can be braced against.

[0058] The four ring constituent members 31 and four connecting parts 32, 33 are assembled into an assembly ring body, and each time a vertical hole H3 is excavated, the assembly ring body is stacked on top of the assembly ring body installed above and connected to the lower part, thereby forming a cylindrical shape similar to the retaining wall constituent material of the first embodiment.

[0059] [Sixth embodiment: earth retaining wall component] 8(A) shows a plan view of the retaining wall component F of the sixth embodiment. The pit H4 to be excavated as the application object is decagonal.

[0060] The retaining wall component F is a decagonal ring-shaped assembly ring body assembled as support from eight of the ten divided ring components 41, two connecting parts 42, and six connecting parts 43 of a rounded decagonal ring shape that is smaller than the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the vertical hole H4, and the assembly ring bodies that serve as support are connected to the underside of the assembly ring body installed above so that they are hung at intervals of 50-70 cm each time the vertical hole H4 is dug down, for example, by 50-70 cm, and retaining plates P are inserted so that they are pressed against the upper and lower assembly ring bodies.

[0061] The two connecting portions 42 have substantially the same configuration as the connecting portion 14D shown in Fig. 3(D). The connecting length of the connecting portions 42 is the same as the length of one side of the decagon of the retaining wall component 4.

[0062] As shown in Fig. 8(B), the connecting portion 43 is formed by assembling assemblies having opposite connecting elements 43a, 43b at both ends of the ring constituent member 41 in a chain fashion as shown in Fig. 8(C), and the degree of freedom of the connecting angle between the ring constituent members 41 when connected can be limited to, for example, 5 degrees. The connecting elements 43a, 43b are made up of a metal fitting having a bolt-through hole welded to the end of the ring constituent member 41, a rod-shaped part protruding obliquely from the outer end of this metal fitting, and a channel-shaped part welded to the ring constituent member 41 at a position away from the metal fitting. relating to The metal fittings are stacked on top of each other and connected with bolts and nuts, and the rod-shaped part is loosely fitted into the position regulation part of the opposing channel type so as to allow a swing angle of, for example, about 5 degrees (no symbol is attached).

[0063] The retaining wall component F can be expanded in diameter by increasing the connection length of the two connecting parts 32 by rotating the turnbuckles of the two connecting parts 42, and is configured so that it can be braced against multiple retaining plates P by being expanded in diameter.

[0064] [Seventh embodiment: earth retaining structure for vertical pit] Fig. 9 shows a pit earth retaining structure (no reference numerals) according to a seventh embodiment. In this pit earth retaining structure, when the portion of sewer pipe G to be repaired is located, for example, 30 m below the road surface, prefabricated ring bodies constituting the support for the earth retaining wall components shown in Fig. 5 are installed in multiple stages as the pit H is dug, with the vertical spacing between the prefabricated ring bodies being set to, for example, 300-750 mm depending on the softness of the ground.

[0065] For each depth position, the retaining plate P is inserted into the outer circumferential gaps of the upper and lower prefabricated ring bodies at once after the upper and lower prefabricated ring bodies corresponding to the top and bottom of the retaining plate P are suspended. Then, for each depth position, the upper and lower prefabricated ring bodies are sequentially expanded in diameter in different time steps. As a result, the two expanded upper and lower prefabricated ring bodies, each with a single step difference in diameter, are pressed against the wall of the vertical hole H in horizontal radial directions from the center of the hole.

[0066] The two upper and lower assembled ring bodies with one step difference are sequentially expanded in diameter in different processes in terms of time. This means that the outer circumferential gap of the assembled ring body at a certain depth is such that the lower part of the upper retaining plate P is inserted inside the upper part of the lower retaining plate P and the upper part of the lower retaining plate P overlap each other. When A previous process in time, and a subsequent process in time in which the lower retaining plate P and the lower retaining plate P are inserted in an overlapping state. This is the order of The assembled ring body is expanded in diameter, and in a later process, the two upper and lower retaining plates P are inserted so that they overlap with each other in the outer gap of the assembled ring body one level below it.

[0067] More specifically, the retaining plate P at each depth position is inserted into the outer periphery gaps of the upper and lower supports at once after the upper and lower supports corresponding to the top and bottom of the retaining plate P are hung. After that, the upper support is expanded and pressed against the wall of the vertical hole H in horizontal radial directions from the center of the hole by the support.

[0068] On the other hand, the lower support is left as it is without being expanded at this point, and after a further support one level lower is installed and suspended from the lower support, a retaining plate P is inserted into the outer gap of the lower support and pushed down further, and then inserted into the outer gap of the support one level lower, and then the lower support is expanded and pushed down.

[0069] All supports installed above and below are suspended from the one above in order, with the one below suspended from the one above at the required intervals via connecting members, and the one installed at the top (first) is suspended from support 70 shown in Figure 4(A) or support 80 shown in Figure 4(B) at the required intervals via connecting members 90.

[0070] In Figure 9, three or four pit posts 92 are provided inside all of the prefabricated ring bodies and spaced equally around the circumference, and the pit posts 92 are connected to all of the prefabricated ring bodies at their intersections with pillar-embracing connectors 93. This ensures a safe and spacious working space necessary for repairing the sewer pipe G. The pit posts 92 may also be connected to each other via beams or jacks to maintain spacing between them.

[0071] For example, a 1m length of sewer pipe G including the repaired area is cut, a new pipe is installed, and after the necessary tests are carried out, the pit pillars 92, shoring and retaining plate P are removed, after which the hole is filled in and repaved to complete the repair work.
